18. Seems like Cosby is an old man now and his reputation has been trashed.

His legal troubles seem to continue and it appears he will face trial again for this particular case. I have no idea how I would have voted in this case because I didn't hear all of the evidence presented and I know things that the jurors supposedly did not, such as how many other women have made similar claims.

Cosby's troubles are far from over. This is just one more in a long line and even it is not finished since the prosecutor says he will try again. You can bet they will go over what they did this time and try to not make the same mistakes that led to a mistrial.

I find myself oddly feeling very sad about this whole debacle. I started listening to Cosby as a teenager in the 1960s and bought several of his albums. Wonderfulness and 200 mph. My family enjoyed them over and over. Later we were faithful fans of the Cosby Show. After hearing of what he did and ADMITTED to doing to the women, I am not sure I can ever watch or listen to them again. What a disillusionment. 😔

The jury didn't know about the 50+ women who had similar experiences MrPurple Jun 2017 #27

The judge couldnt allow them to testify though atleast not without having the case entirely cstanleytech Jun 2017 #32

That makes sense, but not really sure why the women couldn't testify under oath MrPurple Jun 2017 #35

Because it could be considered as tainting the jury and it essentially would have forced cstanleytech Jun 2017 #37
